Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell builds and repairs homes to give families strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter in 16 communities across Greater Lowell and Northern Middlesex County. Since 1991, it has built homes for 52 local families and contributed to more than 80 builds around the world. Its Critical Home Repair program has completed more than 80 projects for local seniors, veterans and people with disabilities.

Volunteers power the work, with more than 800 people giving over 14,000 hours each year. A group of especially dedicated regulars, mostly retirees from related fields, is known as the Tuesday Crew and works on build and repair sites. The Veterans Build brings veterans and active service members together to help construct three new single-family homes, and a local company, Coastal Windows & Exteriors, donated a roof and siding, with installation, for a home build in Concord.
